    Does anyone else have the overwhelming desire to cry (tears in the eyes) when they're anxious around people especially in the situation when feeling ignored bu everyone ? is this will disappear with nofap ?

    Yes, definitely! I have felt very ignored and rejected and judged over recent days and I have cried. Go for it, it is a natural release of emotional tension.

    My anxiety disappeared on nofap. It came back when I relapsed,(watched p one day) and it seems to go away after I give it up. Give nofap 20 days and it will change your life!

    My social anxiety is rising up recently, I feel judged, inferior, insecure, unloved, and it makes me feel like withdrawing, I hope we find the strength to go through this with out PMO.
     
  6. Ridding social anxiety s a big incentive for most of us to do Nofap, but it's not a magic bullet, and will take a lot of effort on your part to put yourself in uncomfortable situations. We've all felt like you though; hopefully this journey can help.

    It works dude, I accidentally did it once, (NoFap) because I was too busy, I was rid of second guessing and hesitation in my instincts and impulses to handles my work and dealing with others. With that said, I'm on day 15, I experience severe social anxiety and frustration that makes me want to punch a bit too many people on the face a bit too often. Also dude, the fact that you can be honest enough with yourself to be vulnerable, bravo, it is part of the grieving process of any loss, and honestly, I envy you! You're on your way my brother, let's get through the tunnel, the dusk and enter the lightness of being amongst the living.

    I meant this go-around, I have 15 days, whereas the former experience I was referring to was months ago.

    Hello everyone, I have had the same experience over time, and my take on this issue is that you can empower with NOFAP, because as we all know porn makes the heart weak, and we have to protect it to become awesome people. The people we dream about, and everything we want to be. Do the NOFAp and never have doubt in your mind and keep going, and it will get better.

    Social life, like anything else worth doing, takes practice. Yes, there will be difficulties. I've had huge social anxiety problems, and it held my life back for a while. For me, it was a life problem. Whenever something difficult (like being social) came up, I'd go watch porn to feel better. But building your lifestyle without porn has huge potential to completely eradicate social problems. My counter may be low at the moment, but during periods when I truly left porn and arousal, my social skills improved tremendously and they are just as good today. Problems still exist, but the improvement is undeniable. If it is important to you, go put yourself out there in difficult situations and practice. And if you feel like crying or sad, go for it, pass the emotion and try again.

    Good luck.
